Rustic Chic Tiato Reception

After settling on Los Angeles as the location to gather together their families and friends, Cynthia and Andy set out to find a reception venue that reflected their personalities and sense of style and would exceed their budget. “Santa Monica is limited when it comes to budget friendly venues – most options are beachfront ballrooms, which were out of our budget and also lacked the character and charm we were looking for,” says Cynthia. “Our wishes were answered when we visited a cool urban garden called Tiato at the recommendation of a friend.” The pair instantly knew they’d found the perfect backdrop for their reception the minute they stepped on the property. Complete with a gorgeous succulent wall, a garden filled with lush trees dotted with twinkling lanterns and interiors boasting modern minimalist design with a subtle Napa-inspired twist, the unique venue embodied the chic, yet laid-back feel they hoped to achieve.
